Not only because it's light with excellent control, but it also has Yangyang and Zhao Jianhua's signature on the cone. A excellent racket, with 2 legend's sig, means a good weapon on court, and a good collector's choice on shelf.

But LazyBuddy,
do you use the Tactic 8500 regularly?
have you clashed the racket? how bad is it?
i just wanted to know is the racket durable?
I heard that the Tactic 8500 is equipped with Muscle Wave Power frame. what is it?
is the head heavier than MP55?
does the Tactic 8500 has a long or traditional length version?
I'm sorry to pose so much questions, because i'm a fanatic of this racket.
A snapshot of the racket would be nice.. ~
p/s: this is going to be a good gift for dad since i have my MP55 and we could fight to see who has better skills and tactics where racket doesn't post a problem in the true match..
Ha! HA! Ha!

Yangyang Tactic 8500 is made of Kelvar (one of my favorite material, for light and strength) and graphite.

It's regular length, and a balance racket (not head heavy or light). Can't compare with MP55, since I almost never used that racket before.

Yeah, since I am a double player, I got some clashes (10, maybe) with the racket, for the past yr, I think I have at least 2 or 3 serious ones (some paint chips). However, the racket still stands, and serve me well. So, I think it's pretty durable.

Within my 10-15 hrs of weekly training, average, I use this racket no less than 3 hrs.

For the "Muscle Wave Power frame", I have no idea what is about. According to the name, my guess is some shape to help the generation of power. Can't say 100%.

For a pic, let me see if I can borrow my friend's digital camera this wkend.
